Sex and Character by Otto Weininger


Recommended Posts

Spaceballs and eschiedler:

 

I haven't read Otto Weininger, but I think this article is relevant.

I cannot paste the article, so please read it and pay attention to the last paragraph.  Do you think this article echoes Weininger's perspective? 

 

I think the last paragraph implies that the Counterfeit VIrtues are feminine in nature and must be subordinated to the Cardinal Virtues which are masculine in nature.  Do you agree with my interpretation, and do you think Weininger would agree with it? 

I'm no philosopher at all but it seems to me that going too much on the specific(courage, virtue,...), his concept become unclear. I read it quickly and there are little similarities but it's still not really categorical or "cardinal" (a little contradictory). 

 

I'm reading Pornocracy (Proudhon, which I think most of you are much more familiar ) and it's concise and much better explained in a few sentences than the writer.
